Twitter is a popular corporate social media platform. It is premised around short instances of user-created content known as tweets,[note 1] and is distinguished from other social networking sites for its emphasis on content delivered in a microblogging format. Since 2022, Twitter, later renamed to X, was taken over by billionaire Elon Musk. The site began to decline as a whole and see a massive increase in right-wing extremist activity and content.[1]
